Subject: [SOLUTION] The Golden Fibbonacci Ratio (#69)

Here's my solution.  It's fairly pedestrian, although the size and
aspect ratio of the ASCII-art squares are configurable.

It builds the picture as an array of strings, appending alternately to
the end of the array and to the end of each string.  The dimensions of
each added box are taken from the length of the edge to which it is to
be added.

It takes one optional argument on the commandline: an iteration count.

  height = size * CELL_HEIGHT
  lines = ["#" * width] + ["##{ " " * ( width - 1 ) }"] * ( height - 1 )
  lines.map! { |line| line.dup }
end

lines = box( 1 )
$*[0].to_i.times do
  width = lines.first.size * CELL_HEIGHT
  height = lines.size * CELL_WIDTH
  if width > height
    lines.concat box( width / CELL_WIDTH / CELL_HEIGHT )
  else
    lines.zip box( height / CELL_WIDTH / CELL_HEIGHT ) do |line, box|
      line << box
    end
  end

lines.each { |line| puts "#{ line }#" }
puts "#{ lines.first }#"
